If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

My bias should be clear from posts I've made in the past. I don't believe in the sanctity of monogamy. Therefore, I almost never consider 'infidelity' per se (unless an explicit verbal or written contract was made) to be a deal-breaker. There's no evidence of malicious manipulation, except as imagi...

Thanks for all the advice. Too many people have chimed in that I can answer you in turn but I really appreciate it. I am a bit drained right now so I will keep this update brief. I am not in the US so the annulment laws are likely different. For instance, I don't think the infidelity means a thing, ...

Johnself, it sounds like she married you fraudulently and in bad faith, with the intention of personal gain. Can the lawyers do anything with that, in terms of annulment? Everything is possible regarding her motives... two days ago I thought this was so out of character I didn't believe it until th...

Small update: She is working late (well that is original..). Not sure she will get home today or not. You poor bastard. Don't lose your temper when you have that talk; it can only harm things if she gets to say you were violent or threatening. Thanks. I will keep it in mind but I just think I will b...

Well, brother - holy shit!

You say you got married on the 17th Dec - was that 17th Dec 2016?

Yes, 17th Dec 2016. I might have forgotten a day in the above account but it is all true. I get why you can be unfaithful to someone but this just boggles my mind.

Howdy all; I am kind of in the shitter so I will tell the tale of my Christmas, "The Brown Marriage", a tale in 7 acts: Prologue: My wife and I are in our early thirties.

Although Com is usually a bloviating twat, in this particular case I think he's right. I think Trump is declining the usual PDB not for sensible reasons, but because he simply can't be arsed. I'd like to hear some reasoned argument about why I'm wrong. I can see the logical reason why you wouldn't ...

In Australia we vote using paper ballots and official lead pencils. The sort whose scratching a you can rub out.

Sargon loves him, and believes that the CIA is made up SJW's making up Russian influence in the election to install Clinton and establish the gynocracy.

I agree that Peterson is fudging the real point to be made, which is that universities are peddling an insane ideas about "new pronouns" and "gender as social construct". I have no problem calling someone who presents as female "her" and "she" without checking what they have under their clothes (an...

Well, we got to distinguish between university rules (which can shit all over what would otherwise be common rights as university rules usually do) and C 16. If I was on the legal team and drafting rules (or guidelines) for how teachers and students engage with each other, the simplest (and obvious...

It is clear you hate binary people johnself. Binary people are usually genderfluid* and hate to be pigeonholed* by sweeping pronouns like xir. And it is objectifying, and because "they" have the right to feel girly or boyly at random times the only respectful thing to do is... * :rimshot: Fuck the ...

I'm sorry but I don't see how "Xir" any better or worse than "The Illustrious Potentate". Both are non gendered unusual nouns. Both are not becoming part of the language naturally (Peterson's best point). You talk about good faith and deeply held and sincere beliefs. Well sir I just finished my koo...

That Jordan is getting shit from his university is a bit of a no-brainer, and I think he is being unprofessional if his refusal to call someone Xir or whatever happens in a classroom setting: It is his damn job to interact with his students in a particular way and if he won't or can't for political...

As far as I can tell, what this bill does is that it takes a list of already protected characteristics (sex, ethnicity/race, marriage status, religion) and then adds "gender identity or expression" to that list. I can't see why that should be so bad as it is already plainly possible to debate e.g. ...

Whoops, missed that the debate was already happening. I think Jordan is right to protest the usual on-campus SJW claptrap, however, the overarching idea in his videos that bill C16 is an unprecedented attack on free speech and he is now single-handedly standing up to the coming marxist orwellian nig...

I am working with some Americans who believe Trump is the antichrist. Part of me want him to win to see their reaction.

If you guys elect Trump you are officially the trolls of the world.
